Quote: “You get your instructions from ATC & you do it!” Just like the Trident crew did! Just like the Yugoslavian aircraft’s crew did! Both in controlled airspace! Result – CRASH! Somebody either does not understand the concept of situational awareness and how it can help to avoid crashes or else they do understand it but are prepared to compromise safety for political expediency.
I don't know how you can compare Yugoslavian ATC with Canadian atc...but anyways!
On the controller screen, you have dots. Keep em away from each other & all will be good.
I don't know what went wrong in that situation, but that is an unlikely scenario here in Quebec. Probably their controller was asleep?
Can you honestly tell me since this crash in 1976, has there ever been a big problem in Quebec, France, Switzerland or any other french speaking ATC?
